Here is a book by Nesta H. Webster (with the pseudonym of Julian Sterne) which has something far more to offer than the ordinary political detective thriller, while equally enthralling to those whose favourite reading is of the hunting down of crime, with all the excitements and ingenuities of brain incidental thereto.

The book makes a double appeal. It is a very unusual story of intrigue, gallantry, and adventure, with a love interest interwoven; and the author's light touch is shown in the description of characters and the introduction of certain highly amusing episodes. The second appeal is to those who can recognise between the lines a profound knowledge of sinister secret societies of the day, and of their co-operative workings towards the destruction of religion, and disintegration of civilisation.
